Ron Cook: 'Team Turmoil' title applies to a lot of teams in NFL … but not the Steelers

Team Turmoil?

Not the Steelers.

The “stench from September” — Mike Tomlin’s words — is long gone.

The Steelers are in first place in the AFC North thanks to losses Sunday by Baltimore, Cincinnati and Cleveland. Antonio Brown is the best wide receiver in football again, isn’t pouting on the field, is making big plays, is showing up for work and, as of late, to the best of my knowledge, hasn’t threatened to break anyone’s jaw, hasn’t accused anyone of being a racist and hasn’t launched projectiles from his luxury condo’s 14th-floor balcony.

The funniest thing about that is, no, he need not say more. We all understand perfectly.

[Fire Goodell]

Yeah, lol. Let's hope they never figure it out.

They won't, I'd bet my entire 401k on it with utmost confidence. The Bengals are proof that talent can only go so far. Being a champion requires that mental toughness and mindset that Marvin Lewis himself lacks, and his team reflects that.
